Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ c. breadcrumbs
  • ⅓ c. chopped onion
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp. freshly chopped parsley
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 1 tbsp. prepared honey BBQ sauce
  • 1 c. BBQ sauce
  • 1 tbsp. honey
  • 1 tbsp. Sriracha sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, honey, and Sriracha. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, parsley, salt, and ¼ cup of the prepared sauce. Mix gently until just combined.
  • Roll the mixture into small meatballs and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12 minutes, flipping the meatballs halfway through so they brown evenly.
  • Transfer the cooked meatballs to a large bowl. Pour the remaining BBQ Honey Sriracha sauce over the top and gently toss until evenly coated.
  • Serve warm as an appetizer or over rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles for a hearty meal.

Notes

  • Roll the meatballs to a uniform size so they cook evenly.
  • Add extra Sriracha or a pinch of cayenne for more heat.
  • Try your favorite BBQ sauce to customize the glaze.
  • Serve with toothpicks for an easy party appetizer.
